Transitioning out of Further Education is an exciting and important step in a young person’s journey. It’s a time when they will be moving from the supportive environment of Inclusive Learning to the wider world of employment and other opportunities.

Parents/Carers will need to apply to their Local Authority for a Social CareAssessment for the young person to gain funding for most of these provisions.
